Aunt Crete, with her sweet personality and patient nature, is bullied by her sister and niece, always forced to do the most difficult chores around the house. When her nephew comes to visit from the West, Aunt Crete is liberated from her oppressive relatives in a hilarious weekend at the seashore.
I really liked this funny story! Aunt Crete is so adorable and kind, and her nephew immediately recognizes that she is being taken advantage of by her mean relatives. He determines to give her a better life, and takes pains to teach his cousins a harsh lesson about their lack of kindness and humility.
I love the writing style that paints this lovely picture of a sweet old aunt. It really draws you into the story and makes you care about the characters.
I also enjoyed reading a story from Grace Livingston Hill that is NOT a romance. It was refreshing to have a story all about family togetherness!
